ABC BREAKING NEWS: RNC Accepts Money From Army Porn Movie Distributor
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 02:05 AM by Phrogman
When it rains, it pours.....


Despite running an attack ad accusing a Democratic senatorial candidate of accepting money from "porn movie producers," the Republican National Committee itself has accepted several donations over the past few years from the president of a large pornographic movie distribution company.

Marina Pacific Distributors calls itself "the leader in adult video distribution." Included in the movies for sale on their Web site are videos made by "Active Duty Productions." Active Duty, as their name suggests, has cast active duty soldiers in some of their films but not without serious consequences for the soldiers.
>>
A Marina Pacific spokesman said Boyias is a moderate Republican who supports candidates and causes on both sides of the aisle, though no contributions to Democrats were found in a search of federal election records. The company continues to sell Active Duty's films, which include "Fire in the Hole," "Platoon Party" and "Thrill Sergeant."
>>
"It's very frustrating for the leaders of the 82nd Airborne to know that people like this are out in the public who prey on our troops," said Major Thomas Earnhardt.

4. This is very sad indeed....
These are people they should be protecting young servicemen from, not taking political contributions from.

WTF over...

7. If they can find a way to make a buck AND neglect our troops
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 02:12 AM by sfexpat2000
they get double points or something. I mean, it seems as though they never pass up an opportunity. Bad water, bad food, no armor, vulnerable vehicles, multiple combat rotations, the redefining of PTSD. Kicking grieving families out of their homes. The list seems endless.

/oops

9. "who prey on our troops" ??
considering their coercive and dishonest recruiting techniques they shouldn't be lecturing others about 'preying'. also, what adults choose to do with their time is none of their concern.

11. The sad part

Three Fort Bragg soldiers were found guilty and sentenced to prison in separate courts-martial earlier this year for appearing in pornographic videos made by Active Duty.


Bizarre. Just Bizzare.

17. K&R for sheer outrageousness. So much for supporting the troops.
Apparently there is no money too dirty for the party of morality
and family values to take. This time they've outdone themselves.

18. So that's what they mean by "supporting the troops".
I've been trying to figure that out for a while.

23. these films are quite popular on the gay torrent sites...
Since the videos involve young army guys doing other young army guys. There was a big scandal involving this company awhile back when a few of the guys got caught by the Army. I am amused this company donates to the GOP. :crazy:
